Chapter 2

As soon as they were out of earshot Chloe stopped walking and turned Aubrey around to face her.

"Bree, what did you wanna tell me?" Her tone laced with concern and curiosity. Aubrey sighed as she looked over her friend's shoulder, avoiding her gaze. "Bree!" Chloe pressed her for answers.

"When I ran off, after the Riff Off, uh," she was lost for words again.

"Jesse followed you." Chloe finished for her, a big smile on her face. "I saw." There was a pause before Chloe added, "what did he say to you?"

Aubrey looked at her friend for the first time since the awkward conversation had begun, "he sang. You know, um, the rest of the song that, uh, no one sang at the Riff Off."

"Aubrey Posen is that blush I see on your incredibly high cheek bones!" Chloe faked extreme shock before bursting out laughing. They were so close, it flet strange to Aubrey not to laugh with her, and so she did.

"Maybe." She said after a while and Chloe grinned at her.

"He's pretty cute. But, uh, I'm not sure what's the deal with him and Beca." Chloe said the last part of the sentence quietly.

Aubrey bit her lip and started walking towards their dorm room again, "yeah. Um, well, it's not like we kissed or anything." It was quiet for a while before she added, "he did tell me I sang beautifully though." There was a girly excitement to her voice and Chloe even squealed.

"Aww, that's so cute!" She said as they continued their walk home.

When they got into their dorm Chloe immediately collapsed onto her bed, groaning as she slid under the covers.

"You okay Chlo?" Aubrey asked as she took off her jacket. The tall blonde was only answered by another groan from her best friend. When she went to retrieve her phone from her pocket Aubrey realised it wasn't there.

"Chlo," she said it more urgently this time. Another groan. "Chlo!" Aubrey yelled and Chloe mumbled something into her pillow that sounded like "what".

"Have you seen my phone?" The blonde inquired as she checked her jacket pockets, where she found nothing but an old stick of gum.

"Uh-uh," Chloe muttered before turning over to face the wall and drifting off to sleep.

"Ugh," Aubrey exclaimed, putting her purse down on the floor before grabbing Chloe's phone out of her purse, which she had haphazardly thrown on the floor when she hopped into bed. Opening the phone she composed a group message to all the Bellas, asking if any of them had seen her phone. After sending off the text she put Chloe's phone on the bedside table between their two beds and took off her shoes as she laid down on her bed. Thinking back to the nights events, she felt embarrassed. But then she thought about the moment her and Jesse shared. 'It really did feel nice to hug that guy' she thought as she closed her eyes, only to be disturbed by Chloe's phone vibrating on the table.

Aubrey picked it up to see a text from Stacey.

Stacey: I think Jesse said he found it and was gonna bring it to your dorm.

The tall blonde felt herself blushing a little at the text but she just threw the phone down after shooting Stacey a quick thank you text. As she started drifting off there was a knock on the door. Aubrey shot up out of bed and quickly fixed her hair before going to open the door.

There stood Jesse, his tall handsome figure smiling down at her kindly.

"Hey Aubrey, you left this-"

"I know," she cut him off with one of her winning smiles. "Thank you, Jesse."

The two of them stood looking at each other for a bit before Jesse smiled at her softly. Aubrey looked down, blushing a little.

"So, uh, yeah." She said as she looked up to see him smiling at her with a look in his eye. He quickly pushed it away though and cleared his throat.

"Uh, yeah." It was quiet for a bit before, to Aubrey's surprise, Chloe's voice was heard from inside the room.

"Will you two either go outside and talk or please shut the door?" Her tone wasn't rude though.

Aubrey laughed a little before biting her lip and looking at Jesse. "Do you wanna go for a walk?"
